HW from 12/15/09

Due on 12/17/09:

* Your current Reading Log will be due on Thursday! Be sure it is signed by your parent.

* Bring in your treat to share with the class on Thursday while we make our "final drafts" of our papers. I'll bring pepperoni rolls and water, and we'll eat whatever treats you guys bring in, so you won't have to bring any lunch on that day.

* Your paper is due by the class period on Tuesday. However, you will receive extra credit for typing and emailing the paper to me before Tuesday, so that I can read and grade it before our class period on Tuesday.

Due on 12/8/09:

* Continue to do assigned reading and mark your Reading Log. You are aiming for 20 minutes daily. Be sure to keep marking the list of books, and let me know when you need a new one.

* Your current Reading Log will be due, signed by your parent, on 12/17/09. This is the last class before the Christmas break.

* Navigate around the website we explored together today. Save the homework link on your computer. Read the "singular their" material on the website.

* Be prepared for a quiz next week on all the material we have studied so far.

* Finish your paper on your favorite season. Follow the guidelines on the handout I gave you. It should be approximately 200 words, double-spaced. It is not required that your paper be typed, but is is strongly recommended that you do so. It is easier for me to read and to grade, and it is easier for you to make revisions and changes, to keep track of the number of words, etc.
